There's your problem. A F-body test would not be helpful for me as a Mustang owner. DSE wins; but they don't make parts for my car.
I think there's close to 20 different Rack & Pinion kits to be had for a classic Mustang. Would you be intressed in that test? The Mustang is a rear steer car (as in location of the rack from the engine), vs the F-body that is an front steer car. I.E bump steer data found on a Mustang test wouldn't be applicable to an F-body. So you don't have any gain from that test.

The F-body does have the biggest Pro-Touring following, so to sell magazines, it would be the best mule. No love for the Mopar guy, because there are few potensial customers, contra the GM and Ford camps.

What I'm saying, different cars, different setups, different specs. It's to many variables to cover all bases.

But I do want to see more test of suspension parts in magazines. I'm all for that.
